Can this fan be connected to a wallswitch?
3004
Anything that takes voltage can be connected to a wall switch.. and yes, i connected mine to a wall switch. just leave nob in on position and use wall switch to turn off/on... only negative is you wont be able to change settings (low/high) on wall switch. That didnt matter to me.. even less so when "low" stopped working on me :(

Yes it can definately be hard wired to a wall switch. simply do not use the on/off switch that comes with the fan.

It comes with an internal switch located in the grill corner. However there is no reason the supply power couldn't be provided from a shut-off switch mounted somewhere else. I agree that this leaves the speed selection up on the fan grill (leave it high), with the wall switch simply on-off. Alternates include: (1) buying the switchless (Model 509?) and using only the wall switch or (2) possibly creatively re-wiring to relocate the rotary selector switch to a more accessible wall box location. The 2nd, may not be a good idea for DIY installation or warrantee reasons?

I would say yes. you would need to remove the speed switch and wire to the wall switch. You'll only have one speed though. This would also simplify installation but the housing would have a hole where the switch would be.

Yes. I attached mine to a wall switch. Just follow the wiring instructions.

It could with some custom electrical work but not out of the box. It's furnished with a small white circular rotary switch on the lower right corner not visible in the picture.

Yes. you can use this fan with any USB source. A 12vdc wall plug would need to have a USB connector.

You can hook it up to any circuit within range. For that matter you could wire in a pigtail and plug it into the wall. but in oder for the manual switch to work it has to be on the fan/light circuit. i never use the manual switch so it's not necessary

If there are two wires coming out of the fan then yes. If there are three then you will need to build a pwm controller. If there are four wires, you will still need to build the controller.

Try the fan manufacturer, or just duplicate the wiring of the existing fan switch.

Yes both separate wiring for wall switch or manually from pull cords on fan

Yes, you can operate the fan and the light with wall switches. The Owners Manual provides installation instructions for both single and dual switches.

No. Please don't waste your time and money on this fan. The output is pitiful. I returned it.

Should be able to adapt...Although the specs (as displayed in the Product Description:Voltage: 5VDC , Current: 0.23A / 1.15W ) do differ from what is printed on the hub (look at the picture: 5.0V/0.1A/0.5W ), this is a Direct Current fan with an AC/DC adapter. You Should be able to get by with a 5VDC wallwart rated at 500mA (like the supplied unit), or go with a 5V/1A unit. Connector is an entirely different issue. For that I'd splice the new wallwart into the original cable. G'luck.

Hi Catalyst God,Thanks for the question. You have to use the wall switch that is provided with the fan. It will not work with a standard switch. We hope this helps! If you have any other questions, or would like to place an order, please reach out to one of our awesome experts. Not only do they know everything, they're also literally sitting right next to their phones right now :)Hansen Wholesale1-800-201-1193

There isn't a switch included on the fan. You can purchase a specific rheostat type switch or as I did just use a standard on/off switch.

The fan doesn't come with a wall switch but it can be wired to almost any type of wall switch. HOWEVER, the Minka is a three-wire European system so an extra ground line would have to be installed to use a wall switch. The remote and receiver come separately. It operates three speeds of the fan and turns the light on/off. I mounted the bracket for the remote onto the wall and use the remote as a "wall" switch. If you want the light off permanently you can remove the bulb easily. Or just don't turn it on. The frosted light fixture makes the bulbs pretty much useless anyway other than for a night light. Fantastic fan, though.

Yes. It can be, if you wire it that way. There are 3 individual feed wires, for, (1)the fan, (2)the main light and (3)the night light, so that you could connect the fan and the main light to one switch, and the night light to a second switch. The combined current(amps) of the fan and the main light is very low, and is well within the capability of a standard light switch.

Yes. I use the wall switch to turn the fan on and off and the chain to vary the speed.

The fan takes 1 incoming set of wires for power, so it gets powered on (light and fan) with a single switch. You might be able to rig something, but it's not built for it out of the box as far as I can determine.

Yes. I installed a remote control with mine, but if you have 2 "hots" along with neutral and ground along with the appropiate switch then no additional wiring would be required to control the fan and light independently at the wall.

No, the fan needs to have two speed capability. There would be three / four wires.
